About
Velettrica is an italian innovative start-up born in 2021 from the dream of entrepreneur and sailor Roberto Baffigo who experienced how to sail full green.
Its mission is to develop highly energy efficient propulsion systems, powered mainly by renewable sources.
Velettrica’s innovative technology consists of a multifunction foldable propeller not only for propulsion, but also to recover maximum energy when the boat is moved by the force of the wind.
It is based on the study of alternatives to commercial propulsion systems and the search for maximum balance with the environment.
Energy efficiency is the priority for each element of the propulsion system.
Tests were carried out in the INM Towing tank (C.N.R.) and the C-PED laboratory at ROMATRE University – Department of Civil Eng, Computer Science and Aeronautical Tech.
After test on our Sail-pod 25Kw for sailboat we are aimed to apply this tech to new sailing cargo ships and the emerging sector of VTOL aircraft.
